Compare the product you received with what is shown online. I didn't realize it until I wrote a review after 6 months of use, but I actually got Eberdon slippers instead of Junction Point slippers. The junctions appear to be made of a thicker material than the Eberdons, which may have given my feet better support. The footpads are great, the best I've ever had in a shoe, if they're equal on Junctions then it must be a good shoe. I will post my less than positive review of Aberdon there.
